CL: Chapter 47 – I Have a Bad Pain Here

After the fun, came the pain. Well it was not the emotional pain that he’s been through a lot in the past.

The sun peaked through the window as its warm rays tickled Kichirō’s face. He turned to his side to avoid the sun’s warm welcome and hugged the ‘big pillow’ beside him. His mouth made some clicks as he tucked his little face on the surprisingly hard and firm pillow. The ‘big pillow’ moved for just a small bit, but it was enough for him to sense this movement. Why did it feel like it was a Déjà vu? All of a sudden, the sound of the alarm clock came through.

恋人だったり 友達でいたいから
Koibito dattari tomodachi de itai kara
Because I wanna be your lover, because I wanna be your friend

“おはよう”って言って
“Ohayō” tte itte
I tell you “good morning”

“Waah~~! Cut it out! It’s Saturday,” Kichirō groaned.

“Why did you forget to switch it off in the first place?” Another voice came over.

Kichirō’s small lips twitched. His once closed eyes immediately opened, displaying his brilliant brown and big eyes, and what lied before him was his man, Ryū. As the image of the other boy, who was lying beside him, was being processed sluggishly by his just-awoken mind, he thought to himself: “Why are you so handsome?” When he finally realized who it was, he abruptly sat up with his eyes widened.

“What, what are you doing here again?!?” He exclaimed.

The other boy, who’s eyes were still closed, frowned, then said: “So noisy.”

Kichirō was infuriated by this so he asked again, “What are you doing here?”

Ryū just ignored him and turned to the other side. Kichirō noticed that the other boy was not wearing anything, nor was he. “What did you do to me again?” He exclaimed, yet again. He was like a naive young maiden who was just recently ‘touched’ by a man.

He did not respond at all to the loud meowing kitten beside him. The other boy reached out his hand to his side, as if trying to look for something. Finally, he was able to grab the Keroro stuffed toy. He even had the audacity to use it to cover his ear that was exposed to the loud mouth beside him.

“So you won’t get up,” Kichirō flatly said as he narrowed his eyes. “I will have to use my super powers then.” An evil thought lingered in this simpleton’s mind. He suddenly sang out loud:

“Never knew your Otōsan was deaf,” Ryū ridiculed as he wore his clothes.

Kichirō noticed something was hanging around Ryū’s neck — it was his crescent moon pendant. “Why do you have that?”

“Baka, did you get amnesia or something? I thought I was the one who got drunk. Not you.”

Kichirō then recalled the dream that he had last night. He realized: “Kuso! It was not a dream?!?”

After putting on his clothes, Ryū stood up with a straight face, as if nothing happened. “What do you want to eat?”

Kichirō touched his chin, then pondered over it. “I want some waffles with a lot of syrup. Then strawberry milk, please.” After that, he also put on his own clothes.

“Okay.”

Why are you changing the topic?” Kichirō remembered what they were talking about earlier. But the other boy acted as if he did not hear him. Kichirō stood up then followed after him. Before he was able to do so, he suddenly felt a sharp pain rise up from his back, specifically from his butt. “Ouch!” He yelped.

Ryū looked back and asked: “What’s wrong, Ki-tan?”

“Look what you did to me. My back hurts!” Kichirō roared.

“We can soak in cold water if you’d like to. It’s a good way to ease the pain and swelling.”

Kichirō grimaced in pain. Every step he took was like pure torture. “I –” He hesitated.

“What? If you got nothing to say, go wash up and have a seat.” Ryū continued preparing breakfast. “Do you want omurice, too?”

Kichirō’s eyes glimmered, as if he forgot the pain he was suffering from: “Okay,” he smiled.

“Beach?” Kichirō’s eyes glistened but his face darkened immediately after. He thought, “Why there of all the places? My butt hurts. I think I even have some bruises, ugh. We could have at least gone to a pool instead.”

Naoki noticed Kichirō was spacing out. “Kichirō-san, anything wrong?”

“Nah, I’m just excited. As long as it’s anywhere far from school, I’d be happy to come with you guys.”
